Lol, Misboo. You are ridiculously in. I say this because your stats are insane and because if you're not in, I have absolutely no chance of getting in.

missboo

pioneer: yay, you're doing engineering too! gotta love Cal Poly Eng..

I'm only applying to Cal Poly. I did my research and decided it was the best place to do my Arch E degree, I got weird looks but I'm so thrilled about my choice!

You're quite well qualified too

I applied around the 15th or so.

Graphic Communications
SAT: 1220 (1900 Composite)
GPA: 3.50 UC/CSU

I've had a somewhat light amount of Honors/AP. Everything else college prep, of course.
-English 1H (Screwed up second semester of that, though. Made it up)
-Bio Lab H (A)
-English 3AP (A, 4 on test)
-Stats AP (C, 2 on test...technically passing class grade, but bleh.)
-English 4AP Planned

-1-5 Hours work, toward field of study. (I'm an amateur photographer)

-Marching Band; main extracurricular, was able to put that down under performing arts, so they fortunately can see it. Drumline section leader.
-Newspaper; kind of snuck it in under Non A-G Courses. I'm editor of photojournalism.

Aside from that, I'm an AVID kid (yeah, one of those kids...), so I got to put down AVID 4 under G Electives.

Just curious, missboo, what is your class rank? A friend of mine with similar GPA is #2 so I assume youre up there somewhere?

missboo

I'm first unweighted. My schedule got screwed up last year, so I ended up taking 2 semesters less of weighted courses than I had planned to take, so in comparison to my closely-ranked peers I have less. I believe I'm fifth weighted.

WOW! You guys have some GREAT stats.

I'm surprised I'm the only business major so far..

missboo

some of my friends are applying to the business program, i don't know if they did ED though..

missboo

also, just looking at one of your previous posts..

i think it may affect the majors individually.

and i don't think the CSU's will really raise their fees too tremendously much, not anywhere close to the UC's projected 30%. besides, hopefully our economy won't be in such a sinkhole by next year.

How hard do you think it is to get into Bio compared to say... engineering or architecture

good ecs work experience related to major

LSkaiWalk

Calinate, we're very similar. Both applying to business school. Except your gpa is a tad higher, and my sat is at tad higher. i say we both have a really good chance.

so, once, (if we do) get accepted. the only requirement for our senior year to get admission is to pass every class you signed up for with a C or better right?? just to make sure. not that im gonna slack or anything.

mattrice92

Pretty much, yeah. Getting accepted would be about the best motivation to not slack off the rest of the year. =)
